Duplex Site Rezoning Gets Preliminary Ok

December 16, 1996|By Mary Wilds.

FRANKFORT — The Frankfort Planning Commission has given preliminary approval to a developer's request to rezone just over 18 acres.

In addition to the rezoning, developer Vince Bianco is also seeking approval to build the 42-unit Shenandoah duplex complex on the property. Planning commissioners said they were concerned that the architectural renderings showed buildings that looked too monotonous.

So, commission members said they are holding off on the rest of Bianco's preliminary plan review until January to give him an opportunity to rework his architectural plans.

Planning director Paula Wallrich said that commissioners recommended Bianco "provide some anti-monotony in materials and texture" by changing window shapes, roof tiles, colors and other details.

The Shenandoah property is located on U.S. Highway 30 just east of Pheasant Run Estates.

Bianco has yet to set prices or a date for breaking ground at Shenandoah.
